2. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Installation requirements for the Solaris LD display
Size
The Solaris LD display is delivered in several packages containing separate parts. Each individual part can pass through a standard
door opening to gain easy access to the installation area. It’s obvious that the dimensions of the destination area must cover the
physical dimensions of the Solaris LD display. See specification of the chosen Solaris LD model for exact dimensions.
Weight
The weight of one separated part, without packaging, of the Solaris LD display does not exceed 50 kg. This limitation allows that
the set up of the Solaris LD display can be done by two persons. But, do not underestimate the weight of a complete Solaris LD
display. Be sure that the surface (floor, wall or ceiling) on which the display has to be installed is capable of handling five (5) times
the complete load of the Solaris LD display. See specification of the chosen Solaris LD model to know the complete weight of the
display.
Humidity
The Solaris LD display is designed for indoor use. The humidity level at the operating area must be between 35 and 85%. To forsake
this requirement will result in damage of internal parts of the Solaris LD display.
Ventilation
A lot of energy is transferred into heat. The installation should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised. Proper ventilation must be provided. The location of the air in- and outlet for the fans will be different
depending on the kind of installation (floor, wall or ceiling). The Solaris LD display must be installed in such a manner that the air in-
and outlets are completely free.
Power
A mono phase power net must be provided at the installation place for the Solaris LD display. The allowed range of the power
voltage is from 190 to 230 volt. Use one power source cable with a section of 10 mm2protected with a 63 ampere switch fuse.
Data path
The data path between the Solaris D2 digitizer and the Solaris LD display may not exceed five (5) meter.
Accessibility
It’s not recommended to install the Solaris LD display on a location where the audience are able to touch the display. On the other
hand the installation location must easy be accessible for maintenance purposes like cleaning the air filters.

• Solaris LD mounting accessories
• Solaris D2 digitizer
• Mono phase power box
• Solaris LD software
• Solaris LD filter kit (optional)
3.1 Solaris LD display tiles
Functionality
The display of the Solaris LD is built up with display tiles. All tiles are connected in series via a data path. The physical location of
a tile in the data path does not matter because within the Solaris LD model all tiles are equal. But the data path must be created
in a daisy chain matter. Each tile picks out a part of the video information of the data stream on the data path and process this
information for displaying on its LED’s.
Depending of the chosen Solaris LD model the resolution of the display tile can be different, either 8 millimeter or 10 millimeter. The
Solaris LD tiles need to be powered up via the mono phase power box which supplies a voltage between 190 and 230 volt.

Re-sync unit
Every tile contains a re-sync unit (A) which can easily be removed. The re-sync unit synchronizes the incoming data stream and
sends it to the next tile. The data ports (B) on the re-sync unit are bidirectional. So, it doesn’t matter on which port the data is coming
in, the re-sync unit switch the functionality of the data ports spontaneously between input and output. Furthermore the re-sync unit
is equipped with status LED’s (C) for diagnostic purposes.

3.2 Solaris LD supporting structure
Functionality
The support structure of the Solaris LD consist in a steel framework supporting vertical sub-frames. Such a sub-frame (precision
frame) has the width of one tile and the height of the display. Tiles are mounted between two precision frames. Depending of the
R5976773 SOLARIS LD DISPLAY 02/12/2004 11

3. System overview
chosen Solaris LD model, several precision frames has to be attached to the support frame to construct the complete Solaris LD
support structure. This solid support structure provides the necessary mounting holes or fixation points for attachment of the tiles,
the digitizer, the power box, the cladding, the foot and the suspension system.

3.4 Solaris D2 digitizer
Functionality
The Solaris D2 digitizer processes (image processing, conversion, and conditioning) all source signals for digital distribution to every
tile in the Solaris LD display. The digitizer can be accessed directly or via the Solaris LD software. This control software is designed
as a user interface to be used in conjunction with the digitizer and the display. Communication between the local PC, running the
Solaris LD software, and the digitizer is realized through a serial RS232 connection.
The Solaris D2 digitizer can be mounted inside the housing of the Solaris LD display or, if desired, in a separated rack.
The maximum length of the DVI data cable used between the Solaris D2 digitizer and the first tile of the So-
laris LD display may not exceed five (5) meter. Neglecting this can result in non or bad performance of the
Solaris LD display.

Input slots
The Solaris D2 digitizer contains two input slots. Barco offers several types of input modules to be used with the Solaris D2 digitizer.
Each input module is equipped with a active loop through output connector and two status LED’s.
Available input modules:
• DVI input module (One unit included).
• SDI input module.
• HDSDI input module.
• CVBS / S-VID input module.
• YUV / RG(s)B input module (One unit included).
• RGB analog UXGA input module.

CAUTION:To comply with the FCC rules concerning electromagnetic interference and for optimal cooling a
dummy input module (R9850930) must be inserted in all unused input slot of the Solaris D2 digitizer.
Cabling
Next to the source cabling, the Solaris D2 digitizer needs three basic connections. The first one is the power connection. Depending
on the socket type of the wall outlet a power cord with CEE or NEMA plug is used. In case the Solaris D2 digitizer is mounted inside
the Solaris LD housing, power has to be split off from the mono phase power box using a power split cable and extension lead.
The second basic connection is the data connection between the Solaris D2 digitizer and the first tile of the Solaris LD display. This
connection is realized with a DVI/DVI data cable with a maximum length of five (5) meter.
The third basic connection is the serial communication between the local PC and the Solaris D2 digitizer. A fifteen (15) meter
long communication cable with SUBD plugs connected, via a SUBD - RJ12 adaptor, with a RJ12 data cable is used to realize this
connection.

3.5 Mono phase power box
Functionality
The mono phase power box is installed at the left or right side of the display and subdivides power from the local power net into
five (5) protected circuits. These circuits distribute power to the Solaris LD display system. Each circuit is equipped with a cable
containing a C19 plug and can maximum supply 7 tiles with power.
